[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would go back to work part time and do something I really like. He would need to pick up household responsibilities based on how many hours you work. If you go back full-time, it is a 50/50% split on kids/household responsibilities and you will have to outsource the cleaning. Is he making you go back to work, because you're out of touch by being SAHM? Some women fall into this detachment from reality and stop growing as a person.[/quote]

Different poster but totally agree with this PP. We have a friend whose SAHM wife wants to keep their first house in our state even though they’re moving out of state for his work. That means two mortgages and she cannot help out financially at all. But she’s clueless about renting houses and finding tenants etc. so it would have made way more sense for them to just sell the first house. She’s definitely out of touch and hasn’t even offered to find work to help her husband out.[/quote]

Also want to add that their daughter is 32 so no childcare needs at home. She’s just used to a life of leisure.[/quote]

You're actually the one who is out of touch and clueless.  I sold a rental home in April that was paid off for 7x what I paid for it.  It wasn't difficult finding tenants and downloading the contracts, and finding a good credit ck/criminal background company. Among other things. Obviously you resent the choices another couple has made for some reason which is very odd. Our renters paid the mortgage fyi. Yes I was a SAHM! Now I am a SAHM to a small dog, lol. Too much jealousy on this thread. [/quote]

GMAFB! "She doesn't know about renting" that is beyond lame to say. I didn't know about it and rented out a house to two tenants in 4 years, does not require any landlord degree. Sold at a big profit too. Pp sounds like someone who is just looking to insult "friend". Don't associate with her, you obviously despise her.[/quote]

They’re Chinese and her English is poor. She was talking to us about leaving all their big furniture and keeping one room locked so future tenants couldn’t enter and she didn’t even think that would be an issue with any future tenant. I’m not saying she needs to have a landlord degree but she doesn’t think to research or plan ahead because her husband does everything. I know when she’s widowed, she is going to have a real hard time on her own in the US. [/quote]
